Wonders of Gond Event!

Gear up for Gond, the Lord of All Smiths! The Wonders of Gond event is returning to Neverwinter to help you crank out some wondrous rewards!

Let the engineering begin on Thursday, November 15 at 7:30am PST (or after maintenance)

The engineering will come to a halt on Monday, November 19 at 7:30am PT

How does the event work? As you adventure through Neverwinter, players will be able to collect Wondrous Grommets that will drop from slaying enemies. This tiny mechanical component is so fascinating it will spur players to explore what extraordinary devices one could create by combining more of these items.

Much like the current refinement system, players will combine Wondrous Grommets to create higher tiered items. As players progress through the item ranks, the more refinement points will be needed. Refinement points can only be gained by using Wondrous items such as the Rank 4 Wondrous Gadget, the Rank 2 Wondrous Cog and the Rank 3 Wondrous Sprocket.

In addition to finding the Wondrous items via the creatures of the Forgotten Realms, a limited-time task will be made available for most crafting professions. This Level 30 task allows players to convert unrefined crafting materials into a Rank 3 Sprocket, and at higher tiers of success, a Rank 4 Gadget along with several Rank 2 Cogs and Rank 1 Grommets.

What rewards can players earn? Adventurers will continue to upgrade the Wondrous items until they can create the pinnacle device, the Doohickey. This device represents the pinnacle of mechanical ingenuity and would impress Gond himself with the fine craftsmanship. Not only can you use this item to deal damage to your foes, this item can be turned in for a Creations of Wonder Pack.

As in previous years, players will be able to turn in event items to the vendor located in the Event Dais in Protector’s Enclave for various rewards:

Creations of Wonder Pack – Cost: Doohickey (Rank 7)

A grand reward for reaching the highest level of craftsmanship and ingenuity during the event. This pack contains a chance to gain unique mounts along with a chance to collect many other items including the Blacksmith companion or the Forgehammer of Gond.

Returning Prizes

Apparatus of Gond

Created by the master smiths of Gond as a homage to Kwalish’s famous apparatus, this gleaming beauty is the very latest in giant crab artificing.

Embellished Apparatus of Gond

This mount is shaped much like its precursor, the Apparatus of Gond, but has a shiny new finish with vents to expose the magical blue glow illuminating it from within.

​

Blacksmith Fashion Set– Cost: Thingamabob (Rank 6)

Want everyone in Protector’s Enclave to know you’re one of the best craftsmen in Neverwinter? With this fashion set there will be no mistaking your skills. This fashion set features Goggles, an Apron and Blacksmith Pants.

10x Mechanical Altars – Cost: Gizmo (Rank 5)

Sure you can use a normal portable altar, but invoking at the Mechanical Altar will grant additional rewards in the form of crafting resources and assets. This could give you just the boost you need to complete the next event profession task.

Expendable Doohickey– Cost: Gadget (Rank 4)

As a reward for upgrading your event items to the halfway point, you can claim a Doohickey; only it’s less powerful than the rank 7 and is also consumable.

Toy Apparatus of Gond– Cost: Sprocket (Rank 3)

This one-time-use item will shrink the Apparatus of Gond down to a miniature level for a while.

Zen Market: Blueprint

Running out of time or just need that one last refinement boost to get you the Apparatus of Gond Mount? During the event players will be able to purchase the Blueprint from the Zen Market, which can then be used to receive 1,800 event refinement points. (Note: this item can only be used to gain refinement points for the event items)
